Living, Re-defined

The Haven ofthe Home  

An exercise in refined Japanese minimalism, the first floor binds the home with living spaces imbued with calm harmony. Carefully manipulated materials fuse with seamless fluidity from formal living to dining areas and into the designer kitchen that extends to the outdoors.

Formal Living  

Gather loved ones in the formal living room where repeated curves and oak wood create a  place of calm. Wood-lined walls reflect traditional Japanese houses and framed views of the exquisite garden cleverly resemble a landscape painting.  Interconnected doors extend the space into the formal living and dining room to enhance the sense of togetherness, or closed for when private spaces are preferred. Bespoke rugs across both the formal living and dining areas feature a wave pattern in a nod to the water element in a traditional Japanese rock garden

Formal Dining  

At almost 100 sqm, both intimate family dinners and elaborate events can be hosted in the formal living and dining room. Overlooking the basin pond and encompassing garden, light filled lunches make way for atmospheric evening shere.   Travertine lines the floors and meets oversized door scrafted from glass and steel that are reminiscent of gridded Shoji screens. Inspired by the Japanese concept of tokonoma, where items are displayed for artistic appreciation, a pair off lower wall bases flank each door. Anchoring the space is a sprawling hardwood table that speaks to the ever-changing vista.  

Front Room  

Acting as a conduit between the kitchen and the formal living and dining room, the front room also flows from the entrance into the al-fresco dining area.  OutsideDining  The enclosed al-fresco dining area allows for meals to be taken in nature in the tranquil garden setting. Connected to both the front room and the kitchen, guests can easily be  received as food flows seamlessly to the table. Nearby water elements heighten feelings of relaxation.   OpenKitchen and Bar Counter  Executed in oak wood to add cohesion to the flow of the home, the open kitchen showcases  expert craftsmanship in a minimalist fashion. Bathed in natural light from thead joining al-fresco dining area, elegant curves on the island soften the space as travertine lines the floors.  Sleek appliances from Gaggenau and Miele are cocooned by geometric wooden panelling that mirrors the connecting glass doors.  Connect with loved ones at the bar counter or imbibe outdoors.
